A thick creamy head sits atop the opaque blackness of this traditional dry Irish stout. Roasted chocolate and coffee notes make this beer a great treat.

Had a Pint at the Davenport, IA location.

Came out looking like the most perfect glass of stout I have ever seen. A creamy brown and black color with a frothy tan head that lingered throughout the whole glass and left big tan lacing all the way to the bottom.

Scent was almost not there just a touch of dark malt smell.

Taste however was on the bland side. Very small amounts of coffee bitterness and malt flavors in this very dry and bland stout.

Drinkability was ok, nothing bad, just not great either.


Mouthfeel was equally disappointing with a very watery thin feel about it.

Could use a little carbonation to bring out the flavors but otherwise its very tasty. Granite City Restaurant is the only place I know where you can get it.

Creamy and delicious! Great for session drinking. Malty and rich flavors with low to moderate bitterness. Would recommend. A great example of the style. CHEERS!

Granite City Broad Axe Oatmeal Stout, 5.2% ABV, 29.3 IBU. Pours black with finger and a half of tan head. Nose is chocolate and malt, taste follows, a bit sweet, no bitterness. Excellent smooth mouthfeel, overall excellent. Could use more flavor, but decent. Session stout.

Pours jet black. Bit of lacing for a head.

Smells of oatmeal, licorice, cocoa and coffee.

Flavor of oatmeal, licorice, toffee, coffee and leather.

Medium body, light tingly carbonation on the tongue.

Decent oatmeal stout, good flavor for the abv. Worth trying.
